ShipVoyage* On 21 December 1701 the Reijgersdaal departed Texel enroute to (Cape Town) where it docked on 13 April 1702. Among those on board was the sailor Claas Jansz van Rensburg, sailing under the name Claas Schim, who remained at the Cape. In his soldyrekening it is stated that he left the service of the VOC in Azie - however as Mansell Upham notes: technically the VOC's charter covered the area starting at the Cape of Good Hope and all areas to the East thereof thus making the Cape of Good Hope part of its 'Asian' area of operation … which is why many (most/all?) VOC personnel that ended up at the Cape of Good Hope - either permanently or temporarily - are also designated in the general registers as having departed for 'Asia.3,4'
